Arboga lever press
Was visiting a workshop today and spotted an Arboga mill in the corner, the owner tells me it's used as a "Lever press" for seating bearings and the previous owner used it for that as well.

No wonder we keep as many machines as we can in Vic!

That's a very extravagant "Lever press"! ... But it's better than letting it rust away somewhere.
Does it still work as a Mill? (electrics)

Arboga, your lucky day
Graz.
Snap it up now, offer to replace it with a "proper press".
Where these machines turn up, amazes me. I only acquired mine by sheer luck.

Hi Graziano,
Ha!... nice one, do you reckon he'd swap it for a nice little arbor press on a pedestal?
Regards
Ray

The current owner has some sentimental attachment to the machine, also he has been pestered by a very annoying person over it for a long period of time. In short it's not going anywhere soon. It's apparently fully functional.
